Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie, I wanted to just give you a few tips and tricks on your Expression Web files. Now, if you've worked on some files, you can easily get them really quickly. You can have a lot of printing options with your files and you can get good summary lists. Now, if you worked on a lot of files and you're in the midst of everything, you don't have to go back and dig them out. You can go to Recent Files, click on any of those and ta-da, there it appears. I can go to Files and Recent Sites and click one of those sites and ta-da, there it appears again. You'll notice that it's starting several Expression Web programs for me to have those files and those sites available. Now, let's open up one of these pages here and let's look at our Printing Options. If we go to File, Print, we've got a Print Preview, a Print and a Page Setup. Let's look at Page Setup. These are the items that are going to print on our page. Now, the and P means the current pages, the total number of pages. If it was a lower-case p, that simply means the current page number. So you could have what page of the total number of pages as something on your footer. The T has to do with time. The capital T is time in 24-hour format, the lower-case t is the time specified by our regional settings in our Control Panel. Now we can have an and D. The capital D is date in the long format and the lower-case d is in short format. Now, probably the most popular things people print all the time is the and U, which is the URL or the page address. That's where it'll print www.666 so on and so forth, or you can have and the W for the window title. So if you want the window title for what appears in the Explorer or the Firefox or your browser title bar, that's a nice option to have there. Now, your other printing options, if you go to File, Print, you have your Print Preview, which we've been looking at that, but you also can click Print and choose what specific printer you want to use, if you want to print it to a file. Printing to a file just means you can save it on your computer, use it later, you can print a certain number of pages or a certain number of copies. You can also look at the properties for your printer to make any other additional changes that you need. We can go to Window and create a brand-new window if we want to for our site. And we can flip back and forth between sites or pages based upon this Window Menu. Let's go back to our previous site here. We can click up on Window and you'll see we can go to the website window or we can go to the default page. You may have several open here that you have to arrow through or you can click on Window in your menu bar. It also shows you the option to open something in a new window or even just to close all your pages at once. That's a good shortcut. Now, on the File Menu, don't forget you have Save, Save As and Save All. You can save everything at once. You don't have to go through one by one or hit Yes when you close the file every single time. Now, the other thing I want you to know about for files are file types. We have looked at several different file type pages. We've done html, HyperText Markup Language, ASPX, those are our ASP pages, Active Server Pages. You have your main surrounding elements and the only thing that changes is that data or the text on the inside. We've done PHP. PHP, remember is your scripting and running and processing on the web host or your web server. The browser doesn't do the processing, it's the server that does the processing. CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets; we'll create those in a little bit. Master pages, we've done those. Those are for our ASP pages. Remember, if you want to use master pages in ASP, just make sure your web host can handle that. Dynamic Web Templates, you can make for your HTML pages so you make one change to it and it automatically updates all the pages. But remember, you do have to upload all of those template files to your web host so the viewers can actually see them. JavaScript; we'll actually create a script in a later movie. Scripting just means it's going to run something; something like the automatic update for the date and the time on a webpage. XML is Extensible Markup Language. XML is something that allows developers to create their own markup tags. Text Files, plain text; everybody can open them, everybody can see them. And don't forget, we also did frames pages. Frames mean you have separate pages that open up inside each one of those elements and those frame pages can actually change. Remember, it's just providing the frame and then all the elements are individual pages by themselves. So those are your file tips. So take a minute, go look at all the options, especially on your printing options when you print web pages and run through all the page types, just to make sure you've, at this point, have a general idea of what all those pages are for.
